Mr. Complete by Sheridon Smythe

Romance

Romance books all have the same destination. The difference in each romance book is the journey to that destination. The journey in Mr. Complete is filled great characters, a great story and many laugh out loud moments. Luke Reynolds is the owner of Mr. Complete's Escort Services. Mrs. Scuttle is his seventy-eight year old secretary. Luke‘s prime rule is that his escorts do not become romantically involved with the clients. His step-brother who is also his arch enemy is trying to put Luke out of business. Two employees accepted bribes from the stepbrother and violated that prime rule. Lydia Carmichael’s aunt had her heart broken by one of those employees. Lydia decides to pose as a client in order to prove that Mr. Complete is in the business of selling sex and breaking hearts. Luke gets wind of her plan and the stage is set. The book is filled with male hunks, sexy dialogue and Mrs. Scuttle adds more than one laugh out loud moment. This is a wonderful lighthearted read.

Wildrose Press published Mr. Complete in 2008. Mr. Complete is currently available only as an eBook. I purchased the book from Fictionwise. I liked Mr. Complete so much I purchased a second book by the authors. Mr. Hyde’ Assets was just as enjoyable a read as Mr. Complete. Romance readers should look for books by Sheridon Smythe.

Angel-Seeker by Sharon Shinn

Science Fiction/Fantasy Romance is in my Mixed Book Bag today.

I added Sharon Shinn to my list of authors to read after hearing her on panels at ARCON in 2007 and WORLDCON in 2008. If I had to use one word to convey my impression of Sharon it would be delightful. I hoped her books would match my impression of her personality.

I picked up Angel-Seeker on a recent trip to the library. It is the second novel in the Samaria series and the first Sharon Shinn book I have read. I was not disappointed. There is romance and adventure, well-developed characters, good world-building, and an engaging plot. There is a strong fantasy element with just the hint of Science Fiction. The people of Samaria know they arrived from somewhere else 500 years ago. There are humans, angels and Jovah. The angels are humans with wings who can sing to Jovah (fantasy) and bring down the things from the sky that humans and angels need (science fiction).

Angel-Seeker tells the story of two different women Elizabeth and Rebekah and the men they find to love. Their journeys are separate and difficult but in the end their paths intertwine.

While this is part of a series it reads well as a standalone. If you are looking for a new author pick up a Sharon Shinn book. I wasn’t disappointed and I don’t think you will be either. Angel-Seeker was published by ACE in 2004.
